PM: The brutal Anfal campaigns is clear evidence of the dictatorship of the former regime
Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani affirmed on Friday that the brutal Anfal campaigns represented clear evidence of the dictatorship and criminality of the former regime.
In a post on the X website, followed by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), al-Sudani said: "We mark the forty-second anniversary of the brutal Anfal campaigns, which targeted the elderly, children, women, and youth from the honorable Barzani families. These campaigns resulted in the disappearance of 8,000 of them in a criminal and inhumane manner, and represented clear evidence of the dictatorship and criminality of the former regime."
He added, "On this occasion, we extend to our Barzani brothers, foremost among them the President of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Masoud Barzani, our most sincere expressions of solidarity and condolences for that pure blood that, along with the blood of all Iraqis, resulted in liberation from that dark era and the path to freedom and justice under our democratic system."

Iraq's climate collapse: A nation at risk
2025-08-02T20:28:29+00:00 Shafaq News Iraq, once anchored by its oil wealth, now faces a more urgent threat: climate collapse fueled by drought, disappearing rivers, and rapid desertification. This escalating crisis is displacing communities, weakening institutions, straining national cohesion, and sending shockwaves through the region and global energy markets. Agriculture Under Siege The Ministry of Agriculture has banned summer rice cultivation due to critical water shortages, with advisor Mehdi Dhahir al-Qaisi explaining to Shafaq News that reduced inflows from Turkiye and Iran have made traditional crops like rice unsustainable. To conserve water, the ministry is promoting sprinkler irrigation by offering 30% subsidies and interest-free loans, though only half of the 13,000 ordered systems have arrived and just 3,000 have reached farmers. Water Restrictions and a Shrinking Economy Meanwhile, the Ministry of Water Resources has capped agricultural land at one million dunams, prioritizing drinking water, orchards, livestock, and marshes. Deputy Director Ghazwan Abdul-Amir told our agency that enforcement is tightening, though illegal farming and water theft remain widespread. With negotiations stalled with upstream countries, the United Nations warns Iraq could lose 20% of its remaining water supply by 2030. Economist Ahmed Eid cautioned that rising food imports are inflating prices and weakening the non-oil economy. 'Without a unified response, rural economies will collapse, fiscal strain will deepen, and Iraq's ability to absorb future shocks will erode,' he said. Migration, Labor Losses, and Urban Strain As agricultural land dries up, thousands are fleeing to overcrowded cities that lack the infrastructure to absorb them, with the World Bank projecting over 1 million climate-displaced Iraqis by 2050 without stronger adaptation policies. The crisis is also crushing outdoor laborers like 23-year-old Hussein Sajjad, who told Shafaq News that he loses his income every time the temperature spikes. With no labor protections or heat safety standards, Iraq could lose up to 4% of total working hours by 2030, according to the International Labour Organization—disproportionately affecting low-income and informal workers. Experts Warn of Institutional Paralysis Although the government has announced a national climate strategy, experts like Green Iraq Observatory's Omar Abdul-Latif caution that delayed implementation and insufficient funding have pushed the country deeper into a 'danger zone.' 'Iraq is not adapting to climate change but struggling to survive it,' Abdul-Latif argued. 'Institutional neglect is widening the gap between the scale of the crisis and the state's ability to respond.' Written and edited by Shafaq News staff.

Waterway dispute rekindles tensions between Iraq and Kuwait
Shafaq News A 2012 agreement regulating navigation in the Khor Abdullah waterway between Iraq and Kuwait remains highly controversial in Iraq. Critics warn the deal blurs maritime boundaries and threatens national sovereignty. Some call for its annulment, while others support renegotiation to better safeguard Iraq's rights. Kuwait maintains the maritime boundary and navigation rights in Khor Abdullah are firmly grounded in international law, insisting that any unilateral attempt by Iraq to revoke the agreement is invalid and unacceptable. The Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also lodged formal protests, urging Iraq to honour its commitments under binding international treaties. It further reaffirmed Kuwait's sovereignty over its territorial waters and its right to shared navigation in the waterway. Meanwhile, many Iraqis view the border demarcation, imposed by the US Security Council after expelling Saddam Hussein's army in 1991, as unfair and exploitative of Iraq's weakened state at the time.

Cash culture dominates Iraq, reform efforts stall
Shafaq News – Baghdad Officials estimated on Saturday that nearly 92 percent of Iraq's cash remains outside the banking system, making it one of the world's most cash-dependent economies. Experts warn that widespread cash hoarding is draining liquidity, weakening institutions, and blocking long-delayed reforms of Iraq's fragile financial sector. Decades of political turmoil, international sanctions, and economic instability have also shaped this pattern. Repeated bank failures, asset seizures, and corruption scandals have left many Iraqis distrustful of formal financial institutions—especially in rural and underserved areas with limited access to banking services. MP Mustafa al-Karaawi identified the erosion of public trust as the main reason citizens avoid depositing money. Although parliament has pushed to merge and modernize public banks, progress remains stalled due to entrenched inefficiencies and outdated digital infrastructure. He called for mandatory digital transactions across government and private sectors to normalize banking use. However, poor internet coverage, limited online services, and cumbersome account procedures continue to deter users. Public Reluctance In the capital, Abdul Ali Alwan described to Shafaq News how opening an account took little effort, but withdrawing even a portion of his funds dragged on for more than a week—an experience that discourages further engagement with the system. Frustrations also run high in the informal economy, where delays can prove even more disruptive. Contractor Abdul-Zahra Fadhel recounted frequent payment hold-ups and restricted access to his accounts, which often left him without the liquidity needed to cover operational expenses. 'When funds arrive in dollars, banks often refuse to disburse the money in the same currency. They require you to open another account in dinars, and they don't use the parallel exchange rate,' he explained. Instead, the conversion takes place at the official government rate, typically below the open market value—reducing the real worth of each payment received. Adding to the distrust, Fadhel pointed to episodes where private banks faced temporary shutdowns due to external sanctions. These incidents, he noted, reinforce the perception that formal banking channels are unreliable. Experts Call for Structural Overhaul Economists link Iraq's heavy cash dependence to deep institutional weaknesses, stressing that decades of instability and limited financial education have entrenched hoarding habits. The implications extend far beyond households and small businesses. Analysts warn that the Central Bank's ability to manage inflation is curtailed, and tools like interest rates lose their effectiveness. A shrinking pool of bank-held liquidity also constrains lending and investment. As a result, many investors bypass traditional banking entirely, opting instead for informal and often less regulated financing methods. Unless sweeping reforms are enacted, Iraq's economy will continue to face exposure to inflationary swings, liquidity shortages, and capital flight. Restoring public confidence in the financial system, experts argue, remains essential for ensuring long-term stability and sustainable growth.
